Too Busy OCCUPY-ing -forgot about Rapture cop-outs!

Today is another Rapture Day--when those who do not want to follow Christ's command - to -"OCCUPY til I come" Lk-19 OKJV- try to get out with out a fight...

OCCUPY is a military term meaning-hold the ground won!...My Jesus the Christ was/is not a whimp...and He expects us to not be whimps either!Wild Bill on Wimps-he spells it differently than I...meaning's the same...:-)

hi, carol -- i think the word regent fits best. we're his representatives -- "occupy" is a tad bit too militaristic or aggressive for me. even though, we do fight a spiritual battle to be sure, i'm more concerned about using a vernacular that the un or non-believer would cause them concern. Christ told us to be shrewd and wise (not that you're not both!), and when i address the brethren (with a holy kiss!), i am blunt and use a Christian lexicon as appropriate. when i speak to a seeker or even the vehemently opposed to the gospel, i seek first to understand their worldview and then present a mars hill sort of dialogue.

Seeing as I have read - aloud- because it is rather like Shakespeare (his works need to be read aloud to be fully understood too) the King James Version -6+ times-I find that the translators were right on- and-I have decided that I have no more time nor patience to be 'diplomatic'...I am finding that the young people rather like my takes-

I'll send the other seekers to you...as I trust your outlook as well...:-)

I really like Wild Bill Carol. I'm glad that you found him. I believe that he is right about using the ax and not the scalpel. As a nation, we are circling the drain and people are beginning to get the sinking feeling that we are going down because of the lunacy in our capital.
